Bloodborne The Old Hunters Guide: Boss Battles, Weapons, Attire And More

Bloodborne is without a shadow of doubt one of the best games of 2015 and The Old Hunters takes the already awesome experience to an all together different level. We have compiled a guide that will hopefully make your trip through the game a bit easier [not that it’s going to happen given the brutal difficulty that the game is known for]. Using this guide you will find tips and tricks to defeat each and every boss battle, find unique weapons, Caryll Runes and their locations.

We have also covered guides on how you can transform into a beast, kin and find Madara’s Whistle. Bloodborne The Old Hunters DLC expansion pack is now available exclusively for the PlayStation 4.

Boss Guide:

Ludwig the Accursed:

Ludwig the Accursed is a part human-like, part hooved creature with tendrils, open scars, scratches and burns all around an incredibly dirty and haired body with several limbs.

Laurence the First Vicar:

Laurence the First Vicar has the body of a massive tree torched and blazing fires everywhere. Antlers upon its head and tendrils scaling one side of its body, Laurence is a disgusting nemesis with huge hands.

Living Failures:

Living Failures are deep, ash colored faceless enemies. With a long, narrow body that appears almost featureless along with big hands and a lumpy head.

Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower:

Lady Maria works out of the clocktower. She is always armed with a sword in one hand and a pistol ready to fire on her side at a moments notice. Her tunic is ash colored and topped with a long, flowing cape and tricorn hat.

Orphan of Kos:

The Orphan of Kos almost mimics the exploders from Dead Space exactly. It is a humanoid, with one long arm and a disgusting, pink bubbly growth at the end. It has a scream of anger mixed with fear and is quick on its attacks.

How To Transform Into A Beast:

Get over to the Hunter’s Nightmare. Find a glowing beast that’s lying on an altar. Grab the Eye Pendant off of the glowing beast that will be used later to get into the Research Halls. Get over to Ludwig, the first boss. After defeating Ludwig, find the stairs that lead to two members.

Defeat them and put the Eye Pendant in the altar. The altar will lift into the next location. Once on top go back to the Hunter’s Dream. Teleport to the Underground Corpse Pile. Then make your way back to where the Eye Pendant was inserted.

There is a new altar in place of the old. You’ll find Laurence’s Skull. Collect it. Defeat a beast and you will get the Beast’s Embrace rune. Go back to the Hunter’s Dream and equip the Beast’s Embrace Rune. That allows you to become a beast. Equip the Beast Claws for maximum power. While in beast mode you can give more damage, but you will take more damage as well.

How To Transform Into A Kin:

In the Research Halls, you will need to help out the character strapped in a chair to acquire the Milkweed Rune. She requires you to collect Brain Fluid. One is in a blood blob past an old man in his wheelchair. On top in the rafters of the Research Halls is the second blood blob. Defeat it and collect the Brain Fluid. Take the Brain Fluids back to the woman strapped down.

She asks for more Brain Blood. She will then turn into a blood blob. Kill her and acquire the third blood blob. She then comes back to life. She will then thank you for giving her the fluid when she comes back to life then she will give you the Milkweed. Go back to the Hunter’s Dream and equip the Milkweed rune. You then become Luminwood.

Getting Madara’s Whistle:

To acquire the Madara’s Whistle, don’t kill Master Valtr. Talk to Master Valtr in the Forbidden Forest. You will then receive the Impurity rune. Access the League ranking screens and complete co-op matches successfully. Doing this will grant you the Vermin award. Now head back to the Forest and talk with Valtr, you will then receive a League Staff item and League Oath gesture. Go back to Hunter’s Dream and go back to the Forest again. On returning, you need to kill NPC Hunter Defector Antal. Kill him to get the Madara’s whistle.
